Letters to the Editor
To the editor,
I am writing on behalf of the students at Norfolk County Agricultural High School to raise awareness about a deeply concerning plan by the Norfolk County Commissioner’s Office to build a solar panel farm on our campus.
While we support clean energy initiatives, this project threatens to destroy...
To the Editor,
Should the citizens of Medfield be embarrassed—or expect better from their elected officials?
I want to thank the many residents who took the time to watch the March 5th and March 26th school committee meetings, along with your outspoken rejection of this vile behavior.Your engagement proves that Medfield...
To the Editor,
I am writing again to once again thank our Dover police department for its committment to the members of our community.
Two months ago, I wrote a letter to thank the Fire and Police Departments for rescuing a dog stranded on the ice on the Charles River and...
To the Editor:
Many residents have been closely following the Pollard school project—attending meetings, participating in public comment, and submitting written questions. On July 9th, two listening sessions were held at the Pollard School auditorium, with the Superintendent serving as both presenter and moderator.
Following those sessions, a number of residents observed...
To the Editor:
I recently learned that approximately 700 kids are missing from our neighboring Framingham public schools in large part due to ICE and anti-immigrant activity creating an environment of distrust and perceived lack of safety.
As a public school parent myself, this is extremely troubling. If this is happening in just one...
To the Editor:
On behalf of New Life Furniture Bank of Massachusetts, I would like to thank our donors, volunteers, and community partners for their extraordinary support of our 2025 annual appeal.
Thanks to our donors' compassionate contributions, this year's campaign was a success, providing essential funding needed to sustain New Life's mission throughout...
To the Editor:
Every day, we see horrific violence by ICE agents across the country, including here in Massachusetts. This has hit pretty close to home, with Milford and Framingham being among the communities hardest hit by ICE in 2025. ICE’s actions are making all our communities less safe. Massachusetts residents have turned out in...
Dear Editor,
I would like to publicly thank a young man by the name of Greg who stopped when he saw me shoveling my front stairs this morning and offered to do the job for me.
My husband and I are both seniors and he is disabled. Having help with digging out from today's...
To the Editor:
I want to publicly thank the Dover fire and police for rescuing a neighbor's dog recently.
The dog went onto the ice on the Charles River and halfway fell into the frigid water and was desperately holding onto the ice with its front legs and howling in fear.

Dear Medfield Neighbors,
The temperatures are dropping and many of us are thinking about turning on the furnace. I share your concern about high heating costs this winter and would like to share with you information that may help ease the financial burden of paying heating costs this winter.

To: All Dover and Sherborn Residents,
Kindly tune in to the Board of Health Meetings and School Committee meetings that occur, sometimes weekly, in both towns. Check the town calendar and attend as many meetings as you can.

Dear Editor,
First of all, I want to than Westwood Public High School. Because of Westwood Public High School, home of the Wolverines, I was able to succeed in college. Westwood High has granted me such great education, as they want to “strive for excellence.” When I became a Freshman...
For several years various Westwood residents have claimed at Town Meeting, “we were promised a tax reduction with University Station.” When it happened again this year, I decided it was time to set the record straight. I was the University Station Project Manager (formerly Westwood Station) for the town from 2007 through 2014. Prior to that role, I...
On Saturday May 15, Sherborn residents will vote on whether to install artificial turf at Laurel Fields, Question 9. This proposal is not just about competitive play. The risks of adding 100 tons of synthetic material to this site are too much for our town.
Every resident in the town...
To The Editor,
Thank you to Jamie O’Loughlin and the “Project Love” team along with many unknown folks in the Medfield community who contributed to help make Valentine’s Day extra special for the residents of Tilden Village (and the residents of the Thomas Upham House) during the pandemic.
I am an Italian-American resident of Wellesley, and I am voting “yes” on Question 1. Being Italian is a source of great pride for me. I treasure my memories of spending Sundays with my grandfather as he would stir his famous “gravy” while regaling us with stories about our Italian ancestors who date...
There are two reasons I am voting Yes on Question 1 on March 2.
First, I think it’s time to face the truth about our history, a history whose cornerstones are built on white supremacy, exploitation, and 500 years of mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples. Second, I do not believe that...
